1961 Epiphone Casino 00926

http://www.frettedamericana.com/details.php?id=926&counter=0
This superb featherweight guitar weighs just 5.60 lbs. and has a single-bound laminated maple body with a medium profile one-piece mahogany neck and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. The width at the nut is just over 1 11/16 inches and the bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard has 22 original jumbo frets and pearl dot postion markers. Short headstock with inlaid pearl "Epiphone" script logo. Three-layer (black/white/black) plastic truss-rod cover. Serial number ("40261") impressed into the back of the headstock. Rectangular blue label inside the bass f-hole with "E-230-T" and "Casino" and the serial number ("40261") stamped in black. Individual single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with white plastic oval buttons stamped "D-169400/Patent No." on the underside. One very hot P-90 pickup with an output of 7.79k. Three-layer (white/black/white) plastic pickguard with mounted silver and black Epiphone stylized "E" logo. Two controls (one volume, one tone) on lower treble bout. Black plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic non-retainer bridge with metal saddles and factory Epiphone vibrato unit. Apart from a very minor and professionally repaired split to the left-hand seam on the headstock (otherwise it would have been a 9.00), this guitar is remarkably fresh and clean. Housed in a modern TKL black hardshell case with deep red plush lining (9.50).

Yo Phil, What were you playing at the beginning? :) Btw love this guitar you know if its sold?

[SmithersJones87]

This thing sounds sublime. and I rather like that small headstock as well i must admit.

@Bluebuthappy182 I've actually got a more recent version of the Casino... made in 2004 in Korea, as were most other Epiphones until about 4 or 5 years when they gradually moved production to Gibson/Epiphone's new Chinese factory.

My particular Casino is a pretty good bit of kit, decent build quality, sounds good. Later Chinese guitars are said to be slightly more hit and miss generally speaking.
